Synopsis:

Fuu Sawatari relocates to Takehara, her father’s hometown, seeking solace after his unexpected passing. Entering her final year of middle school, she finds a renewed connection to photography – a shared passion with her late father. In this new environment, Fuu forms close bonds with a diverse group of classmates: the lighthearted Kaoru, the energetic Norie, and the reserved Maon.

The series follows Fuu as she navigates adolescence, documenting the subtle beauty of daily life through her father's camera lens. These photographic explorations become a catalyst for personal growth within herself and her friends, each grappling with their own aspirations and uncertainties. The story unfolds with a quiet focus on interpersonal relationships and self-discovery, offering a contemplative look at finding joy amidst sorrow and the power of shared experiences.
